Facebook RSVP Link

LoverBean27 · February 2012

Ok I remember seeing some of you talking about posting stuff on facebook regarding RSVP. We were thinking about personally messaging an RSVP link to those we have not heard from... I know this is not "proper etiquette" by any means. But I wanted to know if any of you did anything similar and if your guests seemed to mind?

I stay awaay from everything wedding related on FB. I would just make the phone call and ask them if they had received their invite and if they know whether or not they will be able to make it.
JMO - We have about 20 people to call and I still wouldnt do FB, ours we're due on Friday so we're giving them all a call today.
I just think that anything that is messaged/created on FB isn't exactly 1 - personal and 2 - it kind of down plays the importance of a wedding.

See that is what I was afraid of. We have 163 we have not heard from. Our RSVP date is this Friday, but I still don't forsee that number dropping much as we have been lucky to only get one RSVP a day if any the past two weeks. It's just a TON of people to call....

lol

If you have that many people to call I think it's perfectly accetable to Facebook message some of them individually. I would go down the list and pick out people who are really important to me as well as people I think would be offended by a FB message and call them. Message the rest! I know my friends wouldn't care about being asked on Facebook. If you have their e-mails that may be an option, too. It's definitely not ideal but that is a LOT of phone calls!

I'm facebooking my friends that could really care less and have no clue what is the right thing to do... like you send back a card in the first place... or you know RSVP on line... you know thoes frustating people... but the people I'm really close to and have no clue why they haven't rsvp'd then I am calling...

i think facebook messaging them is ookay---with the world of technology these days most things re done over the computer and internet...in 5 years we wont even be sending out invites the 'traditional' way...ya know?

I choose to fb message a fraction of my guests. I mainly did all the younger generation which is really all I had on fb anyways. So fellow friends, bridesmaids, and a few younger family members. No one seemed to mind at all. And it did work for some because I got their RSVPs. I would definetly send a short message with it though. I wouldn't just send a link only. Then I had my mom and FFIL call their respective friends.
